In control of a linear collider, the ground motion is one of the big problems. Various things can be considered as a factor of the ground motion, environmental vibration, atmospheric pressure variation, and the earth tides, etc. This time, we measured the slow ground motions using the tunnel of the underground hydroelectric power station "Shintoyone" located in the granite region. For the follo...

In this paper, the hydraulic and heat-transfer properties of two sets of artificially fractured granite samples are investigated. First, the morphological information is determined using 3D modelling technology. The area ratio is used to describe the roughness of the fracture surface. Second, the hydraulic properties of fractured granite are tested by exposing samples to different confining pre...

–Carbon bound in gibbsite, collected from a residual weathering profile developed on a Paleozoic granite in the Georgia Piedmont, was examined for its C content and found to be geologically young. The study site, located at the Panola Mountain Research Watershed, has developed a granite–saprolite–soil regolith in which C-gibbsite model ages deep within the profile (C-horizon) average about 8000...

Based on hyper spectral data mining techniques, field spectra data is used to study the diagnosable spectral signatures of uranium mineralization factors in this paper, and the spectral features of pluton, ore-controlling fault and hydrothermal alteration including alkali metasomatism, hematitization, chloritization and hydromicazation are acquired and analyzed, the diagnosable spectra identifi...

The Dorchap Dyke Swarm hosts the first recorded occurrence of lithium–caesium–tantalum (LCT) pegmatites in Victoria, Australia. Syn-orogenic emplacement pegmatite dykes occurred along a northwest-trending shear system during Benambran Orogeny. Pegmatites are derived from fractionated melt associated with Mount Wills Granite, which is an S-type, peraluminous granite originating supracrustal melt...

High pressure waterjets are now entering use on an increasing scale for primary rock excavation in quarries. In order to assess the parameters required for any such rock cutting operation a series of experiments need to be carried out in which the critical operational parameters are identified. This paper seeks to identify such a standard procedure with an explanation with the reasons for choic...
